We've got a great set of topics for discussion. Looking forward to seeing you @the Barn1 3:45-5:15 on:
Smart growth is an overall approach of development and conservation strategies that can help protect our health and natural environment and make our communities more attractive, economically stronger, socially diverse, and resilient to climate change.
Join us when Stephen Cole, Executive Director of the Plymouth Foundation - a private non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing quality of life in our region through smart economic growth - discusses the Foundation’s efforts to preserve the character of our community by actively supporting government and private-sector initiatives to attract, retain, and strengthen employment opportunities and increase the community’s commercial and industrial tax base.
Kevin Canty will present the status of the Plymouth Land Bank, what it is, and why it's needed.
Plymouth already has some of the most restrictive residential zoning in the entire Commonwealth, and still new subdivisions are being built. That is because Plymouth can’t prevent developers from building what is allowed by existing residential zoning. Moreover, our commercially zoned land is being converted to apartments though an “affordable” housing loophole in State law (Chapter 40B) which allows developers to completely ignore Town zoning laws.
Plymouth wants to manage its natural resources and control new residential development - to prevent land from being developed the town needs to own it.
Join Plymouth Independent Editor and CEO Mark Pothier, Pulitzer Prize winner Robby Robinson, and Troy Finn as they talk about what has happened to local media, how the Plymouth Independent is facing those challenges, and how we can help:
Earlier this month, the Town of Plymouth and Holtec International issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to develop a Master Plan for the 1500± acre Holtec Property. This is an exciting step in the town's effort to proactively engage in the planning of this site.
We spoke of the potential of this property earlier this year. and we're hoping to get an update on this effort by someone involved in the RFP. Those unfamiliar with this property are encouraged to visit the PHATS website to learn more about the PHATS Concept.

As many will recall, the Board of Selectmen appointed a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) in 2024 to provide public input and oversight to the proposed expansion of the wastewater facility located at the headwaters of Eel River.
Join us to hear an update on the CAC regarding the town's efforts to rerouter ~3 million gallons per day of wastewater effluent from the outfall pipe to Camelot Park.
